Windows 10: Windows explorer freezes when right clicking in a certain folder

I've recently changed the location of my videos folder in This PC, but instead of typing D:\, I accidentally typed D:, which leads the video folder to be D:Videos. Although mostly everything works, when I try to right click in that folder, windows explorer freezes. This also happens when I right click on the Videos shortcut in This PC, so I cannot change it. Is there any way to fix this?

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows Explorer freezes when right-click on folder or shortcut

Hello! Unfortunately Explorer++ freezes too! I used ShellExView to disable non-Microsoft context menu items but didn't help. Running sfc /scannow did nothing. Thanks

Try Explorer++ Portable

Use it to navigate to a problem folder or shortcut and then right click. Post a screenshot of the context menu. Like this:




Explorer++ - A small and fast file manager for Windows

For any third party software entries that show up in the right click context menu - either remove the software (uninstall) if you no longer use it or else check version numbers and check for and install updates.
